Mopar Nut
'63 Dart. It has some cancer in the wheel lip in the rear quarter.... There are spots along it that show it will be through soon. I drilled out the spots and rolled it down to see what it was like. There is a nasty pocket in there that captures crap so I am sure it is not great on either side.
Here is the patch panel..

To make the seam on a body line I would need to cut it many inches up from the lip edge or cut it just at the lip edge. I hate going all the way up to the body line as I know the rust is just in the lip area as that is where the crap accumulates. Would you go all the way up to the body line with the patch panel or just cut it an inch or so above the lip and weld it in the smooth area?
Would you do the other side even if it does not show evidence today?
Thanks
Jim
